Sonny Boy Williamson

Sonny Boy Williamson II – (known in many quarters as Aleck “Rice” Miller) – was among the most admired and emulated blues harmonica players of the postwar era. His virtuosity was captured on record only belatedly, after decades during which he reigned in the South as a juke joint performer and a radio star. After his final rise to prominence at Trumpet Records and then at Chess Records, he basked in the greatest adulation of his career, playing to acclaim on the concert stages of Europe.
